You can get Merino wool just about anywhere, right? Well, as a spinner, whether you're just starting out or have been spinning for a long time, you have a connection to the history of this engaging handcraft. Part of that history is the sheep that are currently designated as endangered. Each one of these breeds has unique qualities that can’t be found in commercially bred sheep. To work with these wools is not only a treat, but a gateway into the rich history of spinning. Knowledgeable spinners can help protect these sheep for future generations of spinners to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eSpin-Off\u003c\/i\u003e editorial team put together this eBook to enlighten spinners about these lovely rare wools and in 2002 published the book \u003ci\u003eHandspun Treasures from Rare Wools\u003c\/i\u003e edited by Deborah Robson.
